"I'm very confident in the design of the car," Hess said. "And we're comparing ourselves to experienced car builders." Formula Tords are the second largest racing class in the United States, and manv companies spend years creating and build ing these high performance race cars. Weber State seniors from the departments of design and manufacturing engineering, under Hess' encouragement, decided to research, design and build oneduring their senior year -a bit less than 10 months.
